Quantum dot multiexcitons in magnetic field
Kulakovskii V.D., Bayer M., Michel M., Forchel A., Gutbrod T., and Faller F.
Multiexcitons confined in InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QD's) with a lateral size slightly exceeding the exciton Bohr radius have been investigated by magnetopho-toluminescence spectroscopy at 2 K. The Coulomb correlations in the two-exciton-complex result in an additional confinement, which increases with decreasing dot size, the magnetic field reduces this effect. A three exciton complex is confined only due to the geometric confinement potential of the QD. The exciton-exciton repulsion increases with decreasing dot size, the magnetic field reduces strongly the repulsion when the magnetic length becomes smaller than the lateral QD size. A shell model for the quantum dot multiexciton states has been suggested. PACS: 71.35.-y, 73.20.-r
